Summary: | Starting from the early decades of the 16th century, some of the main European cities began to issue a number of normative provisions aimed at completely reorganizing public assistance to the poor. Thanks to the theoretical debates that accompanied them, we are able to evaluate the conceptual background that led to such a restructuring of public assistance. In this contribution, I will focus especially on the Spanish controversy between Domingo de Soto and Juan de Robles, which provides us with a plastic representation of the political stakes involved. Through a conceptual analysis of their works on this matter, the article tries to point out the ideological foundations of the new interest of secular powers in the relief and moral correction of the poor, showing their theoretical and political implications. |
